When I became an Avenger, it filled my heart.
Whenever I see this team, my heartbeat never fails to start.
And it beats the fastest when I say “Ready. Set. Hut.”
In this group, where I have played a role and a part,
All the memories we’ve been through topped my chart.

We’ve been together a year now and you’ve got more to go.
Always remember, you’ve got personalities that give the crowd’s faces a glow.
Give them that big unforgettable “WOAH”
And make them realize, you’re in this sport and will grow.
Use what you’ve been through and what you know,
And I guarantee, you will never be considered low.

I’m sure this bond will live until eternity.
We were able to break down easily the walls of diversity.
In this team, I found a family, people who you just love instantly.

I’ll never forget the days when I had to wake up the earliest,
Because I knew it was worth it, I was playing with the best.
With this, I felt grateful and blessed.
There’s something about this team, made me feel I needed no rest.
Together, we all committed to take part in this quest.

Now, you shall all aim for more, now that we have built a core.
We’ve opened more doors and now play better than before.
Next time, you’ll do more than play, you will outscore.
Show them the time when the Avengers soar.

Now that I won’t be able to play on the same field.
I will always remember, when I feel down, you’ll be my shield.
In the experiences we had, I feel that my wounds have healed.

In this team, I will forever feel secure.
All the memories, I will treasure, that I assure.
And as I go through them the last time, my heart is now pure.

We won’t be on the same field, but I tell you, I won’t be apart.
Because I promise that you will always be in my heart.
Now and forever, we’ll never depart.

Avengers, soar high.
Show everyone how it is to fly and reach the sky.
When you fall down, there’s no need to cry.
Get up and go, give it another try.
You’ve got more to offer this world, that gift you can’t deny.
Trust me, I’ve been through that, given a gift I couldn’t say no to and even made me cry.
That’s the gift of the people around me now who made me grow and not let a moment just pass by.

This has been long, but not enough to say all that I feel,
All that I have said and done are real.

But now I have to let go because I can’t stay.
Always believe that “Only tomorrow leads your way”
And just trust God and everything will be okay.
Anyway, the “G” word I will never say.
One thing’s for sure though, I will miss this team everyday. Monday, May 30, 2005 at 5/30/2005 12:10:00 PM

I just got home from a fully packed day. Woke up early this morning or should I say yesterday morning? Haha! My parents left for Puerto Galera and will be coming back later in the afternoon or evening. Went with friends to Rockwell with Joaqui and looked around and then watched Guess Who. It was so funny. The girl there's really hot! I mean Ashton looked better because the girl he was with was hot! Haha! If I was a guy, I'd go for her! Hahaha! Anyway, Gica and I got so kilig in the part when Ashton was teasing her and then while they were talking he all of a sudden kissed her. Damn, I wonder how my first kiss will be.. Hmm. Haha! I want it to be super special, that's for sure! Anyway, no rush.

Before we left Rockwell, I was with my brother, Janna, Gica and Anna P and we're going to plan a beach trip with friends! I'm so excited! Because I missed the Subic trip last Wednesday because I gave it up so that I can be allowed to teach Flag in Brent the next day. Then at night, I found out that Brent was cancelled. So I felt like a gave up a super fun trip for NOTHING. Oh well, we're planning more trips and I'm definitely looking forward to ALL!!!

Oops my brothers are walking around tipsy. Andro drank half of a bottle of San Mig Light due to Kuya Chris, Kuya Miguel, Kuya Ryan, Nico and Andro wanted to beat Joaqui with drinking. So Andro drank it and now he's HIT. Joaqui too. So I have to take care of them but now they're starting to be sober so it's all good. It was a super fun night in Rockwell and Grilla. We were the last ones to leave Grilla and now we're going to some fastfood place that's open for 24 hours to get some food. And after that, we can finally sleep. Yes, that's the most awaited part. Anyway I'm getting tired and I have to save up energy to leave in abit. So...

Good Morning ya'll! :D Sunday, May 08, 2005 at 5/08/2005 04:24:00 AM

Mary just dropped me off from the Lopa Compound. And upto now, all the things in my head pretty much illustrate what we've done today. I woke up around 9:30am, supposedly my alarm clock was set to 10:30 but I guess my excitement couldn't stop me. I actually don't think I stopped dreaming since last night, because upto this moment I still am. Dreams do come true. Such as the dream of just spending a day with your friends and having nothing to worry about. Hmm... maybe there are, like worried that your bikini might fall from the back of your neck [tip: tie it TWICE, right Isa? :D]. Mary and I actually arrived first at their compound and just waited for Mikee and CV to come. When they did arrive, we changed right away to our bikinis [well CV and Mikee did since Mary and I already wore it under our clothes]. And next thing, we all jumped into the pool. It was really great because the sun was still up and hot after lunch. Isa arrived around 2. Laurie followed. And then Gia and Maita arrived. Then Pia. It was hella fun. Please don't get annoyed that I always use the word FUN because that's the best word that describes today. Actually, anytime with my Amazing 16. Hell yeah.

We ate in between breaks. The barbeque was really good with the vinegar and of course the killer #4 Cheese from YCB. Back and forth from the pool. We armored ourselves with the "noodles" that Mikee and her cousins brought and lent us. Those are the best. We had the chicken fight. Isa, on my shoulders. Gia, on Mikee's. Laurie, on CV's [right? haha]. Isa and I beat Gia & Mikee. But Laurie beat the hell out of Isa. Well... Isa sort of got ger revenge but she made the wrong person bleed, ME. Well I think my lip's alright now, I don't taste any blood anymore so it stopped bleeding. We had racing, noodle racing, "kwentuhan" [of course], sliding, noodle exhibition, find kiara's ***, find kiara's pink havaianas and so much more. I techincally stayed in the pool for almost 5-6 hours. Then I took a shower in the house of Mary's tita, and looked in the mirror, now I have a new addition to my "Tan Line List": my bikini tan line.

Now... it's all in my head. Memories!!! There's definitely more to come. For sure. Right guys?

Seriously... what more can you ask for? I've got everything I need. One of the factors why I live is, knowing I've got 15 Amazing people who I trust, care for, who've got my back and of course, who I adore and love more than anything in this world. It might sound like a cliche but it surely comes from my heart. And it's going to stay.

I can't really say anything more, I'm still in awe and still in excitement with all this. Next time again you bitches! Haha! MY bitches. MY 15. MY family.

Goodnight ya'll! Thursday, April 07, 2005 at 4/07/2005 08:15:00 PM

We had Avengers football practice last Monday, and it was very tiring. My heart kept on hurting. I guess it's because of the heat and the result of having to run the field for nearly 5 rounds. After flag, we headed to Ice Monster and Chowking to get ourselves some refreshments. I was with Gica, Colleen, Berta, Lara, Pasia, AnnaZ and Denise. After getting food, we went back to San Lo and played Ultimate Disc. It was fun because we were taught about the game and how to throw properly. It was cool because I got to throw and got some turns to pass the disc to my teammates. Thanks Berta for letting us play! And then Colleen, Denise & I [the dots] went to Greenbelt and checked out the bathing suit store. Then we went to McDo to get some food. We stayed in McCafe since there were no vacant seats in the regular place anymore. It was super fun because we got to hang out. Then Colleen dropped me off at the gym where my parents were. Then my parents and I went to Rockwell to pass for Joaqui. After... I got home, showered, talked to Isa, got the "news" then talked to Isa again. Raar. That damn news. Oh well thanks to Isa for being there to hear me out. You really are a paker. You're MY paker!

Tomorrow... Avengers practice was cancelled. Our group [FV] will be doing our Bio project to be submitted tomorrow. And we're going to hang out for the rest of the day. I'm really looking forward to that... I miss those days. I love those days. What more if my other 15 AMAZING friends get together too? The complete 16! Man, I can't wait for that one.

Oh well, I have to wake up early tomorrow. Excited!!!

Goodnight ya'll! Tuesday, March 29, 2005 at 3/29/2005 11:10:00 PM

I found a song and felt like this one described what I felt the most.

From Roswell:

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe

I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key

Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe
Sunday, March 27, 2005 at 3/27/2005 04:07:00 PM

Wow it's been quite some time since my last post here. But now, I feel like writing again. I feel like this time I can let out everything I want to say. Again, like before. There's so much inside but I can't seem to find a way on how to let it out or I might just burst. Can you imagine how all of us, each one of us, feel differently about so many things? It's so complicated but in the end, we get through it. I hope I can get through mine too.

I've been so tired lately and it's not like I'm doing anything strenuous. Maybe it's all in the head. I've been thinking so much about things. Is that bad? Or maybe it gets bad because I worry myself too much. And that leads to stress, a lot of stress. Oh well, but sometimes we just can't help it. Life's really unpredictable and unfair at times. But we all have to be strong and always remember that we have our family and friends no matter what. They'll always be here for us.

Speaking of which... Don't you sometimes feel like you're always the one putting effort at something? Like what's up there, ONE WAY. When it just goes one way. Or maybe comes from one person only. Ugh, sometimes that's how I feel. With some things, like friends. Of course, I love listening to them, to whatever they have to say because that's what friends are for. But there are times wherein it's all him or her. Not that I'm craving for attention but it's more comforting to know when a friend asks you how you've been or what's new with you. Like he or she wants to know more. Or at least to show some slight interest. I mean, I don't mind when a friend of mine talks all night or tells me everything that he or she is feeling but when it comes to my turn to start talking, my friends reaction tames down and it seems like there's no interest in what I have to say. Oh well, I'd rather choose to just be a friend and listen to the person no matter what he or she has to say. As long as I know that I'm not doing anything wrong. And besides, when it all boils down to what I really feel... I LOVE MY FRIENDS.

Anyway, I feel like I don't want to say anything more now because I'm sure that when I do, I'll never stop and this entry would be very boring to read. So.. 'till the next time I come back here.

Good day ya'll! at 3/27/2005 11:21:00 AM

Spent some resting time in the house just to make sure I don't stress myself or else I'll be sick again. So I got a few DVDs and bumped into one of the songs played..If you know good music, you should get this. Anyway, hope to see all you guys soon.

Built This Way by Samantha Ronson

Did you ever feel like you wanna be
Someone else for just one day
Did you ever feel like you wanna see
Through another pair of eyes
Did you ever think I might wanna be
With anyone else for just one day
Did you ever really think of me
When I walked away

The look the dunks and the bottle of Jack
The smokes the slouch and my eyes back
You think you know what you think you'll find
You think you'll figure me out tonight
But you'll never know what I won't share
Coz I don't care, no I don't care
You think you'll figure me out tonight
But I don't care

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
Coz every man that I know makes me feel like I'm to blame
When it's over, me and my selfish ways
Go back to start again
Go back to start again

Did you ever feel like you should have said
Something smarter at the time
Did you ever feel like you should have kept
It all to yourself
Did you ever think it might be your fault
I never promised anymore
Did you ever think it might not be me
Now it was always me

The look the dunks and the bottle of Jack
The smokes the slouch and my eyes back
You think you know what you think you'll find
You think you'll figure me out tonight
But you'll never know what I won't share
Coz I don't care, no I don't care
You think you'll figure me out tonight
But I don't care

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
Coz every man that I know makes me feel like I'm to blame
When it's over, me and my selfish ways
Go back to start again

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
Coz every man that I know makes me feel like I'm to blame
When it's over, me and my selfish ways
Go back to start again
Go back to start again

The look the dunks and the bottle of Jack
The smokes the slouch and my eyes back
You think you know what you think you'll find
You think you'll figure me out tonight
But you'll never know what I won't share
Coz I don't care, no I don't care
You think you'll figure me out tonight
But I don't care

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
Coz every man that I know makes me feel like I'm to blame
When it's over, me and my selfish ways
Go back to start again

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
Coz every man that I know makes me feel like I'm to blame
When it's over, me and my selfish ways
Go back to start again
Go back to start again
Go back to start again

Alright. Long time no post!! Oh well, here I am again! I'm so tired from last night. It was so fun though. One of my best days of February. Why? First, I got to be with Colleen in the afternoon as she was preparing to get made up for her prom. Then Polly, Janna and Gica followed us in Basement Salon. It was so fun! The best part of the day! We had some pictures taken and Colleen really seemed like a celebrity! Then we went back to Magallanes in Colleen's house. She got dressed up, put on her shoes, packed her purse. And there, Prom Queen right before our eyes.

Polly and I started getting goosebumps and got super hyped up to see her get picked up by Gio, her date. It was almost 6, and Maica arrived. So the 3 muskeeters went together, planned the "plan". I think we were even more excited than Colleen was! Haha! Or maybe because we were excited as she was very nervous. Oh well, we never doubted Colleen. She'll be great, she's always been.

So it was a few minutes past 6 and Gio arrived. The 3 musketeers ran down the stairs...to the gate and..

Gio: [with flowers for Colleen] Hi
Maica: Hi! We're Colleen's friends
Polly & Kiara: Hey!
Gio: [just smiling, actually looked scared]
Kiara: By the way, this is Polly, Maica and I'm Kiara
Gio: [waving his hand to all of us] Hi
Polly: [Heading to the Living Room] Okay, just go inside. Colleen's just preparing.
Gio: [follows]
-Inside the house-
Kiara: Just sit down first
*We all sat*
Maica: So..
Kiara: You look scared, are you? Haha!
Gio: Uhm...not really
3 Musketeers: Colleen's just doing her "final touches" she'll be here in a bit
Kiara: It's your first prom right?
Gio: Yes
3 Musketeers: Oh that's why...
Kiara: It's the La Salle fair today right?
Gio: Yep it is.
Kiara: How is it?
Gio: Hmm..my friends said it was boring but it's better today. There are better bands playing.
Kiara: Oh alright
*and the rest, i don't remember because we were so weird talaga! hahaha!*
before they left...we had a friggin photoshoot! hahahahaha!
-Going out the house-
Kiara: Alright, you guys have fun! Gio, take care of Colleen ha! Or else..Haha just kidding
Gio: [Made this smile about the "or else" hahaha]
Maica: Yeah, take care of her!
Polly: Bye! Enjoy!
...off they go...

So Maica, Polly and I headed to Ateneo for the sophnight. We were so hungry. I got so dizzy halfway on the road to Katipunan. Around 7:30, we met up with Brian, Mark and Nico.

*whatever happened to Soph Night, haha basta i'm so tamad to put it. you can just ask me personally or maica or polly*

We went to Candice afterwards. Met up with Pia, Ange, Isa, Chiara and others. We hung out at Starbucks for a while and met with Brian and Mark there who decided to go and check out Candice as well. So we just bummed around and I got picked up around 11:30 and headed to La Salle to get my brothers.

I arrived in La Salle, and saw a couple of friends. Talked to Pia's cousin Amado, Paolo E. I also saw someone who got into my nerves. Hay, no name shall be mentioned!!

Anyway, my brothers and I were hungry so we went to Wendy's in Makati Avenue and became pigs. Then we headed home, exhausted. But still smiling. Super fun day with friends!

This is it for now. There's actually more but my laziness is killing me. Back to school again tomorrow. Pep & Lit Presentations are coming up!

Oh well...See ya guys!

Sunday, February 13, 2005 at 2/13/2005 02:16:00 PM

I was just thinking that it's been so weird that I ran out of time to write consistently on my blog. I guess I've been bothered with other things in school, with friends, duties etc. And maybe I just tend to be too lazy to update this. I hope that I'll be able to get time back to write as much as I can here.

Just got back from school. Well not really, I got home around 3:30. We cooked in T.H.E. and the food was good. "IT'S GOOD!" We're finally done with our 10min. History play. Yay! It was really exciting because my groupmates were basically, well mostly, composed of our barakada. But of course, the rest of the faces weren't unfamiliar ones, friends as well! It was, I admit, sort of "sabog" but then we were able to inform the right facts to the class regarding the Opium War etc. I hope that the class had fun and was entertained with our 10 minute performance. And hearing their laughter and seeing their faces faced front, I think they did. I hope so!

And of course, the ritual after eating lunch in the classroom, we went to the College Area to go to the food booths there. They had Potato Corner, Kenny Rogers, Auntie Anne's and Hotshots. My friends & I bought ourselves pretzels and dip and indluged ourselves with some dessert. Right after, we had Math, it was so draining. The new lesson we are taking up is very tiring. Even if it doesn't really involve any physical activities besides having a pen in my hand for the whole time. It was just a very challenging topic. But after what we've been through in Math, I'm sure the class will get through this one!

We had Biology after and we finally took the postponed quiz. So we took it, typical Bio quiz. Multiple choice with Essay. We answered it for about 15-20 minutes and had a discussion after. But I missed parts of it because I feel asleep. Nothing new. Just tired.

And here I am. Tempted to open my mom's new Strawberry flavored Shakers. Yes, I want to drink it now. So bad.

Hold up...I'll get my mom and ask her! For now...

Goodnight ya'll!

THOU SHALL NOT RUN AFTER GUYS...Esp. fakes!

Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for, more than you'll ever know.

This is our last embrace, must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please, Kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
Oh, you know,it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying, "maybe... you didn't know him at all."

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."

Just got home from mass, and wore my white pants. Unfortunately, there were a couple of other people wearing white pants as well. Oh well. As long as it wasn't the exact pair. Here I am...tired. Craving for sleep. It's been a busy weekend. Saturday went out with friends after flag practice with the Avengers and Phantoms. Watched Ocean's 12 with Gia, Colleen, Maia, Tj, Dino, Chino, Gaby, Steph and Paul. It was really fun because we occupied the whole row in Rockwell. But the movie, missed some parts of it because I had to take some phone calls outside and I bought food along with my 2 fellow Avengers Gia and Colin. The movie wasn't as exciting as the first one. Brad Pitt was very entertaining though. Hot as usual. Had a long night...

I haven't stuided for our bio quiz tomorrow about Biotech, so here I go...I shall study now!

Goodnight ya'll!
Sunday, January 16, 2005 at 1/16/2005 10:43:00 PM

Yay. I'm finally back online. Haven't updated my files online for about 2 weeks already. Oh well, I will one at a time.

We have to memorize a speech from Julius Caesar by the end of the month! God please help me.

Goodnight ya'll!

Yesterday, I went to Alabang with my family to visit my grandparents. On the way there, around 5, my dad decided that we hear mass first in Magallanes. So we did. I saw a couple of schoolmates and Mon Jose :D

After the mass, we were off to the South. We stayed in my grandparents' house for about an hour. Had a photoshoot with Andro and Joaqui just out of boredom and then went to ATC. I accompanied Joaqui all over the mall to search for his new shirts. When we stopped walking around for dinner, on the way to the restaurant, I saw a guy who was so familiar. Joaqui and I were in-line to get ourselves Ice Monster then on the way back to where we were staying, I realized that it was "Bruce" from KKK last year in school. My friends and I had a crush on him that day because he looked very good with his self-defense skills and he looked good himself. Haha! But yesterday, he looked..hmm..he looked better before. Oh well, he was hanging out with a couple of friends, 1 guy and 2 girls and I think they're from DLSZ. Moving on...We went to People Are People, Human, F&H, Bench and at last, U. Joaqui bought his new shirts there and they actually looked good. Thanks to my mom who reminded us that there was U there in ATC.

So after this, around 10:30, we finally went home. I changed to my sleeping clothes and went online for abit. Slept around 2am. Well that's what happened yesterday! Haha! Cheers guys!
at 12/27/2004 01:45:00 PM

I miss everyone. It's been only a week out and I feel like I haven't seen everyone for almost a month! Well...we'll get back together guys! SOON! Love you guys so much! :D

@ Polo Club with Ro and her "fax paper" pants 12.18.04  Wednesday, December 22, 2004 at 12/22/2004 02:33:00 PM

Alright, I'm only able to post what happened yesterday now because I was too tired to think of what to type here last night. Well here it is!

We finally played flag yesterday! After almost 3months of no flag. Man...But earlier yesterday, before we played, we decided to have lunch in GB3. It was Me, Gia, Mikee, Sarie, Colleen, Joey, Dino, Chino, Joe, NicoA and his friend who played for the Arrowheads.

After eating, we drove back to the Park and played flag! We started by doing some O & D drills which helped alot. Then we had a scrimmage that was super fun! One of the plays...we were at 1st down starting at the end of the field. Chino told us a running play which involved Gia to run the ball. So she did...She ran. She went all the way. We scored. WOW! She burnt Joe and the rest of the other players! Wahoo! GIA YOU ROCK! She can run man...

So after we played, around 4pm, we just sat at first and talked. Then around 4:20pm, Joey, Colleen & I decided to go to the mall to go Christmas shopping!

Our first stop was at SM to look for cheap yet cool stuff! Hahaha! Then we went to G4 to get something to eat. We ended up going to Yellow Cab Pizza which had a long waiting list for seats since it was a favorite among the restaurants in the mall. So we ate. We laughed about how Colleen & Joey didn't know how to slice the pizza with the plastic fork & knife. Well...I was laughing! Then I got a call from my mom and found out that they were on the way to the mall to get a camera for this Christmas and just get some things they needed. It was good for me at least we're all the same place.

Joey left earlier than we did, around 6:15pm because her driver came to fetch her already. So Colleen & I practically went around the mall and just went inside every store! Haha! She had to look for gifts she can give her to her siblings and some friends. So we went shirt-searching for her sister and ended up in this super cool store that sold alot of super cool shirts! Haha! That sounded ditzy. Anyway...this shirts just cost P299 each and it wasn't a bad price at all.

After our t-shirt searching, we still went around and when it was around 8:50pm, after our strained legs have given up, we decided to sit down in Starbucks and just relax for abit. We just talked and made fun of people around us. HOW MEAN! Well I did those...

Before Colleen was ready to get picked up, we decided to go to Wendy's and get ourselves a Frosty! After this, we went down by North Park to wait for her driver. The driver came and they dropped me off infront CPK where my family was eating.

I realized something...We may not have jogged to warm up during flag but with all the walking that we did, it was worth more than 1 round! That's for sure. FO SHO.

Anyway, this is it for now! I'm still sleepy. It's so early!

Cheers ya'll!
